In science:

Self-gravity is taken into account in all simulations but the stellar content of NGC 2915 is neglected.

On the Spiral Structure of NGC 2915 and Dark Matter

Once a microlensing event is detected it is important, given the aim to probe the halo content in form of MACHO, to ﬁnd out its origin, namely, whether it is due to self-lensing within M31 or to a MACHO.

Microlensing towards M31: candidates and perspectives

We therefore avoid the repetition but give a brief discussion to keep the article self-content.

Random Matrices with Correlated Elements: A Model for Disorder with Interactions

We will prefer, however, to present the study in a self contained way because explicit reference to the content of the aforementioned papers for the three models employed would make a common notation diﬃcult and the manuscript inconveniently readable.

On non existence of tokamak equilibria with purely poloidal flow

Although we would have preferred to make this paper self-contained, repeating all the necessary deﬁnitions from would take us too far aﬁeld, and we will be forced to assume that the reader has a certain familiarity with its contents.

A canonical form for some piecewise defined functions

With the mobile device converging into a single “communicator”, we could expect self-created content like videos to be shared using this protocol. In the Extended MCP we have the opportunity of using context-awareness using sampling to determine the best usage of mobile peer resources.

Content Sharing for Mobile Devices

Peers were assumed to all share content and use an altruistic sharing policy. Each peer had a set period for messages broadcast. The behavior exhibited was very similar to that of a perfectly spreading infectious virus, where the virus had no self destructive characteristics.

Content Sharing for Mobile Devices

Assuming that the eleven tubes are nearly uniform in gas content, construction and electric ﬁeld shape over the period of data taking, the relationship between drift radius is found through a self calibrating process, by minimizing the χ2 of the radius function and track radius of each tube.

We conclude that our iterative scheme is a new tool, which can be used to model both the dominant stellar populations and the dust content in a self-consistent way.

We assume that the content of the “superrelativity principle” is as follow: The general unitary motion of pure quantum states may be local ly reduced to geodesic motion in the projective Hilbert space by introduction of some gauge (compensation) ﬁeld for self- preservation of the geodesic ﬁeld conﬁguration (droplet).

Quantum theory requires gravity and superrelativity

We have the opportunity to check whether observations, stellar pulsation and stellar evolution theories give a self-consistent picture for two low metallicities and different chemical content.
